Bench—since this was supposed to be 4x3, this was a disappointing set. I got a sort of confused set of 5x2 at this weight about 3 weeks ago (really 2/2/2/3/1), so I was expecting that I could get this fairly handily. Insert excuses about sleep, etc. I'll probably just try the same next time around.

Chins—Tried doing 10 sec of rest for every rep (10 after the first set, 20 sec after the second set, etc.). By 5, 50 sec was not nearly enough. Rest of sets were just random rest.

Rows—Intended doing the 10 sec or rest per rep thing, but quickly lost interest.

Bad decision to work out. I was frustrated that I'd missed so many workouts and felt morally obligated to lift. I hoped that once I got warmed up I'd feel better, and end up being glad that I lifted. None of those things worked out. I've been sore, tired and in a thoroughly negative mood. I'd been sick several days with some sort of GI bug, that the drugs I was taking failed to help much, though they added to my general malaise. Went home discouraged, tired, and sad.

I've been on vacation since the 15th. I don't usually take 2 weeks at a time. We spent the first week staying with friends at a remote Mission Aviation Fellowship base, way down in the southwest part of PNG, near the Fly river. Prior to that I had missed several workouts due to not feeling well. So now it's time to get back into the swing of things.

DL—it's been 4 weeks since I last DLd. 3 singles at 315 was really all I had in me.

Bulgarians—balance pretty shakey

Grip—2 of the old-fashioned 10-pound plates, the kind that are flat on one side, hollow on the other side with the brand-name and weight moulded in. That kind. 2 10s, flat sides turned out, with additional plates tied on. Pinch-grip with my arm hanging at my side for time.
